Project: Empowering Rural Women Through Sewing Training

Challenge : The affluence of rural women is declining, and they encounter obstacles while attempting to leave their villages for employment. But if we teach them sewing skills, they will definitely learn how to sew, and they will have lots of opportunities to use their skills to generate income so they can sustain themselves and their families.
